He actually screwed up the entire operation at Shiloh with his plan. This also cast a bad light on General Johnston because he allowed Beauregard to pretty much run the army. General Hardee once said that Johnston didn&#39;t have the strength of character to force his subordinates to do his will.Tim Kenthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02678554985222437552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-80275381571411451662011-07-05T14:46:11.791-07:002011-07-05T14:46:11.791-07:00Hello

However, publication wasn&#39;t going to be until 2012. LSU press was doing it.<br /><br />Don HallstromAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-19914356109376051022011-07-05T13:56:09.770-07:002011-07-05T13:56:09.770-07:00If it&#39;s true he&#39;s dropped it permanently, ...If it&#39;s true he&#39;s dropped it permanently, that would be very disappointing indeed.Drew@CWBAhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00018056113264346047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-69059908632854376992011-07-05T13:13:44.855-07:002011-07-05T13:13:44.855-07:00Disappointed hearing that about Cozzens and Shiloh...Disappointed hearing that about Cozzens and Shiloh. I was looking forward to reading his take on the battle and campaign. <br /><br />By the way, has anyone heard if Gordon Rhea is ever coming out with his fifth volume on the Overland Campaign? <br />ChrisChris Evansnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-58068477872662253942011-07-05T12:25:17.448-07:002011-07-05T12:25:17.448-07:00When Cozzens was at our symposium last fall he sai...When Cozzens was at our symposium last fall he said he&#39;s done with the Civil War. Heard from another source that he&#39;s said this before and has returned so maybe he&#39;ll come back for Shiloh, but it most likely won&#39;t be for the 150th.Nickhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08528725361910007225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-84564508045114721282011-07-04T21:52:36.445-07:002011-07-04T21:52:36.445-07:00I&#39;ll read this, but I&#39;m not sure if I&#39;...I&#39;ll read this, but I&#39;m not sure if I&#39;ll buy it. I&#39;ve read his Vicksburg book...more along the lines of &quot;popular&quot; history. I didn&#39;t learn much from it, but enjoyed it nevertheless. Any book-length treatment of Shiloh is welcome. I turn 40 a few days after the 150th of Shiloh and may go there for the anniversary.<br /><br />Joel Manuel<br />Baton Rouge LAJoel Manuelhttp://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=562190500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-62301117211126702812011-07-04T17:05:38.862-07:002011-07-04T17:05:38.862-07:00Hello Drew

I believe he has turned his writing to other fields.<br /><br />I&#39;m sorry to see this, I enjoyed his writing. <br /><br />Regarding western Campaigns, I understand Larry Daniel is working on something. I&#39;ve also heard Robertson is working on Chickamauga.<br /><br /><br />Don HallstromAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16471073.post-27710307516480216622011-07-04T11:33:02.061-07:002011-07-04T11:33:02.061-07:00Interesting.

I thought his books on the 1864 Tennessee Campaign and Vicksburg were decent even if they weren&#39;t groundbreaking. <br /><br />Cozzens on Shiloh should be fascinating.<br /><br />ChrisChris Evansnoreply@blogger.com
